Meet Johnny.

Princeton-based singer and acoustic guitarist. From timeless classics to modern favorites, Johnny shapes every set around the people in the room.

Johnny earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Performance from the University of Pittsburgh, where winning the school’s Battle of the Bands helped launch his performing career. He has since performed for Disney, Google, and Walmart, and performed with the Gypsy Queens (based in Nice, France) for a brief stint before the COVID-19 pandemic.

A proud member of the Army National Guard, husband, and father of two girls, Johnny brings warmth, care, and real connection to the people he sings for.
